Do you ever miss a bike that you sold?

I really want to buy a road bike but the only way to afford it would be to sell two of my bikes (Soma B-side & a singlecross). I don't use the B-side much at all as I favour my other MTBs more. Still, I'm stuggling to bring myself to sell it.

I occasionally miss my Whyte 46, more for where I went on it (did the C2C in three days on it) than how it rode. That said, the odd occasion I was actually 'in the zone' on it, I took on some stuff at speeds I've not been near on my Soul

Intense 5.5! I sold it so I could move across the world following a woman. Bad idea, the bike was a much better ride and would have lasted a lot longer than we did. I don't have the same attachment to my current bikes as I had to the Intense.

By that description, I can only guess you're my old housemate, Aaron, and I claim my five pounds

I miss my first proper mountain bike, a 1994/5 Trek 930, Trek Y22, my ST4 and the last Cotic Soul I sold earlier this year.. It was a perfect build in my opinion, weighed just under 25 lbs, looked stunning and rode superb. : (

I sometimes miss my old trailstar and I would miss my old 95 fire mountain, but then I got a 97 off of Retrobike for pennies, SS'd it and it is every bit as fun as I remembered it being.

Oddly I've not missed the more expensive bikes I've owned...

TBH Yes OP you do need to MTFU, bikes are simply objects, you don't get so attached to your kettle but that possesion arguably serves you about as regularly and faithfully as a decent bike...

Bikes can be used, broken, replaced, exchanged or given away if you like, the main thing is that they are of some use/benefit to you.
If you ride for the enjoyment of riding, and if a bike's not being used for riding then it should be in line for the chop...

I miss my Soul, even though I (eventually) managed to find something just as good to replace it, and a little more suited to my riding. But we kind of bonded, I learned how to properly ride on that bike, everything from first black route to first xc race to first uplift.

And my yellow Mmmbop- though to be honest I was right fed up of it and it does absolutely nothing as well as the Ti, it was yellow.

I sold my Mountain Cycle San Andreas frame, as I had a Five as well that did 80% of the things the SA did, I had been made redundant and needed the money. When I regret selling it I just remember my kids faces on that Xmas morning, and how they may have looked if I'd been skint.
I can only imagine how it would have ridden with a CCDB........

I've only ever sold one (and no I don't really miss it), much to the annoyance of Mrs Daz. Protests have been lodged that the one-in-one-out rule isn't working, but as I've explained, it takes time to find a loving home for an unwanted bike
